Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties
• Ensure labels specify fiber composition per FTC rules and include country of origin
• Avoid classifying as pure artificial fiber (6204.43) if wool exceeds threshold; check for Chapter 62 exclusions like worn clothing
